IMPROVEMENT IN SCARF-FASTENINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 204,999, dated June 18,1878 application filed May 16, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY SANDNER, of Hoboken, in the county of Hudsonand State of New Jersey, have invented a new and ImprovedScarf-Fastening, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a vertical centralsection of a scarf with my improved fastening, and Fig. 2 a rearelevation of the fastening detached.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

This invention is intended to furnish for scarfs of all kinds animproved fastening device, through which one end of the neck-band may bereadily passed, but then firmly retained thereby when in properposition.

The invention consists of a spring-clamp that is secured into the bodyof the scarf, and made of two plates, of which one is pivoted andspring-acted, and provided with a projecting button, that is depressedfrom the back of the scarf, so as to withdraw the neck-band, which isinserted without obstruction by the clamp.

Referring to the drawing, A represents a scarf of any suitableshape andmaterial, and B a spring-clamp that is attached in suitable manner intothe body of the scarf, and constructed of a main plate, 0, and of aswinging and spring-acted rear plate, D. The main plate 0 supports thepivots of the back plate in bent-up ears or lugs a, the spring I) of therear platebeing attached to the same, so as to bear against a cross-pin,d, and press on the rear plate, and keep the rear plate. in contact withthe main plate. Vided at the upper end with a small button, 6, thatextends through the rear part .of the scarf, so that by pressing uponthe button by the thumb the rear plate is readily released from theneck-band, and the latter thereby withdrawn from the clamp.

When attaching the scarf to the neck, the neck-band is easily pushedthrough the clamp of the scarf, as the spring-plate of the same givessufficiently for admitting its passage, but retains it firmly inposition against backward motion by the clamp action of the springplateon the neck-band. The annoying loosen,- ing and detaching of the scarfsis thereby prevented, and a simple and reliable clamp for retaining theneck-bands obtained.

Having thus described my invention,I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent A scarf fastener or clamp consisting of a main orfront plate, and of a pivoted and spring-acted rear plate having abutton at the upper end, adapted to project at the back of the scarf,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
